Silas Durocher is a composer, guitarist, songwriter, and singer who “understands that there are many mansions in the house of music and naturally partakes of all of them.” Bridging many styles, Silas’ music often focuses on combining classical music with funk and rock n’ roll to create “music for the head, the heart, and the hips.” With this central idea, Silas’ music appears in many forms, including works for orchestra, chamber ensembles, rock bands, or even solo performances.
Along with long-time friend and musical partner, bassist Jesse Gentry, Silas formed The Get Right Band, a funk/rock/boogie band known for their high energy live shows. While they are indeed all of those musical styles things, they are fiercely determined to not be pigeon-holed by any style or label. They are shapeshifters, focused on following their muses to honest self-expression, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory. They tour throughout the East Coast and the Caribbean, amassing crowds of dancing fans wherever they go.
The Get Right Band is releasing their much anticipated, first ever live album at Ambrose West on January 26th with opening act, Three Star Revival, starting at 8pm.
